Data Based On: 25 franchised Restaurants open for at least 12 months as of December 25, 2024 and reported full-year sales information through iLumen Reporting Software for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2024
* Calculated average_gross_profit as Average Net Sales - Average Food expense, assuming 'Food' represents Cost of Goods Sold for a restaurant (2,089,007 - 484,028 = 1,604,979). Calculated ebitda_margin_pct as average_ebitda / average_gross_revenue (600,994 / 2,089,007 = 0.28769). The sum of listed average expenses (Food, Total Labor / Taxes / Fringe Benefits, Utilities, Repair & Maintenance, Other Expense) totals 1,488,012, which when subtracted from average net sales (2,089,007) results in 600,995, closely matching the reported average EBITDA of 600,994. Best guess profit range (low/high) set to null as the provided EBITDA is 'before Royalties, Advertising, Occupancy Cost and Management Fees', and no further information was available to reliably estimate these post-EBITDA operating expenses to derive a 'net profit' range.
